With no cameras rolling, I saw Floyd give his front wheel to a competitor who flatted. While she rode off to the races again, he fixed her flat and rode into the sun with no cameras rolling.
Fun fact: Floyd Landis and myself have won the same number of TDFs
Also, love the irony of saying you got stuck behind people who can’t ride their bikes after hitting the deck twice
Poor bike handling is in the eye of the beholder
What an annoying person you are XD
And ... those guys that "couldn't ride" probably still finished in under 6 hours .....
Landis cyclery is a joke...allways overpriced and they hire douche half ass mechanics
You slide out twice "BEHIND riders who can't ride their bikes"
"Caught behind ppl who can't ride their bike" while being behind them because you crashed... multiple times...🤔
Ironic for the guy who crashed twice is complaining about being behind guys “who can’t ride their bikes”. 🤣
You pulled a Dylan and finished 16th! I feel like he would be proud that a Bonk Bro is carrying the torch of 16th place finishes.
They mentioned that on the pod this week. Haha. Hadn’t even crossed my mind.
16th thumbs up!!!
Glad you’re narrating the race vids again
Only when I can do it from the comfort / privacy of my office. Haha.
So if the people who can’t ride their bikes end up in front of you, does that mean that you also can’t ride your bike??
No it doesn’t. We had a group who rode together for 15 years. We also had another guy I’ll call him Fred . Fred was a genetic freak. He had absolutely no bike handling skills but occasionally he could get to the front of the group. And when he did he’d have a brain fart and take the whole group down. We had a world downhill champ, a national time trial champion and and all military road champion in our group. And Fred could cause us all to crash. So no you can be an excellent bike rider and conditions can take you down.
@@jimsteinway695hahah that was a good laugu...fred
"caught behind riders that can't ride their bikes"
Reminds me of when I play an online game with a matchmaking system and people complain about how bad I am and I'm like well you got matched with me so...... 😂
Guy crashes 3 times and flats, complains about being behind people who can’t ride 😂
What a beautiful route!
Agreed. I had to remind myself to look around and enjoy the view a few times.
Your camera work and editing are absolutely top notch! Great race looking forward to seeing you win this year.
Man, I loved this video! Keep up and congrats on a good performance!
Awesome footage, thanks so much for taking us around the big lap. And perhaps the rider who asked about your road shoes was hallucinating late in the race. It happens, you lose your focus and wonder about other people's shoes. :)
The narration is appreciated.
I put a converter on my road shoes so I can run them with mtb pedals
I'm just here to remind the group of the absolute banger of a video you made of the CX nats course for '23 in which the camera was aimed 2 feet in front of your wheel and the sound was you randomly narrating made-up barriers. That video should be in the smithsonian.
Thanks for the reminder. We all needed it.
Music is dope! Smooth commentary, and exhilarating downhills. Does everyone already know the whole course having ridden it before?
Its called a Honorary Lead-Out for Landis . I'm sure he was asked to do it .
Would have thought with his history that would be a negative.
I think Floyd has paid his debt to cycling, plus some. At this point he’s a good guy IMO.
Maybe you can go to a gravel skills camp led by Adam and DJ 😂
I need it obviously.
Drew, I’m not a gravel expert or anything, and good job passing all those people… BUT next time you gotta pass Keegan. It seems like a good idea idk. Easy for a Hoosier.
All that cholla (AKA jumping cactus) is good incentive not to fall off the bike in McDowell park.
nice footage drew, have fun..
Great video. Super stoked you bailed multiple times and still ended up placing well and had good legs. Bravo.
Thanks Trevor!
The Slow Ride Cycling Podcast always says 16th place is a sign of forthcoming greatness. Love the mix of titles and voice over on this video, and congrats on beating a former Tour De France Champion LOL
Thanks. I hope they are right about 16th place. Haha.
What a fun day. I got caught up in that big rut near where the first person crashed. Luckily I didn’t crash, just had to hop out of it. 😂
Oh nice. Glad you had fun out there!
Shocks on road bikes been around since mid 90s for Paris Roubaix but didn't last long. Wonder if they will take off in Gravel?
It is def a very technical course and can be very challenging for many. Tire pressure, size and tread are all important variables and if it is only a few lbs too much it can act like marbles on concrete. I agree road shoes are more comfortable but for this type of course you have to be able to clip in and out quickly to avoid actually hitting the ground when the front tire breaks loose. MTB set up for the AZ route would most def had helped. I grew up in that area riding motos there very often and it takes time to get used to that type of dirt or DG.
At 10:49 your front wheel is going 6-12" back and forth. This is why you crash. Your ear is in front of the steering axis and your balance isn't on the bike balance point. Your top tube is prob 30mm too short. Get this fixed and your bike will go straight.
Do they make a 160 stem?
Maybe Floyd landis thinks he is, well, Floyd Landis
Good job dude. You ever have your hand injury in the back of your mind? My shoulder injury still haunts me
I did once it went numb the last hour. Haha. But no pain or problem using it. And it felt fine after the race.
I mean you are flying!
My first gravel race and I loved the course, dirt sections were rad. Nice video
That was cool. Especially the part about maple syrup. I've been using peanut butter and syrup sandwiches (childhood favorite) on my longer rides, so YESTERDAY when walking through the supermarket I spotted flasks of maple syrup and thought, Hmm.. How do you use it, right out of the flask or into a water bottle? Thought I saw someone putting it into a water bottle. Well done, nice video
I was one of the riders you passed in McDowell and also crashed multiple times - should've let some air out too!
So if you’re not a top 20 rider in this race then you probably don’t even really know how to ride a bike… nice attitude. 😂
Man. Yal really offended by that statement. Guess I gotta be careful about what I say but they guys were literally getting off there bikes and walking…
Crashes twice “and now I am stuck behind people who can’t ride their bikes”, crashes again… maybe ol’ Dillman should re-read those scriptures about pride coming before a fall!
Sweet race vid.... The main thing is you went up that final climb faster than Dylan... So, you can deduce, if you hadn't crashed, you would have beat him.
Awesome Video...just to point out, Lael Wilcox has been running suspension for many years on her drop bar bike. She rips on descents as I should probably follow her lead and get myself some suspension
Yeah, anybody running suspension is not a "trendsetter". Even I was running a suspension fork on my first drop bar gravel bike 3 years ago. It's more the case that people that won't because they think it's "uncool" need to quit worrying about what other people think so much. They work great on lots of gravel courses. What's needed is a suspension fork with a remote lockout. Then you can turn it off when on pavement, climbing, or sprinting. Would sell like crazy. I'm not buying another one until they make it with a lockout.
So as realized this was gravel I turned it off. Kinda the pickleball or road racing 😂
Hoping to get started racing this year. Cheers!!
That looks like a fun race. Right on, thanks for sharing.
Still not used to seeing drop bars on the dirt. I'll keep my flat bars, even wider tires and full suspension for non-paved surfaces thankyou. Looks like fun though.
If you're passing people, crashing then having to re-pass....might be a sign
Oh I had that same thought Buddy. Trust me.
I don't race, but enjoy the content! Love to ride gravel in my road shoes....if a route requires walking than I'm bringing my MTB
Yep. Agreed. But this one didn’t have any walking except a few gate crossings so I opted for road shoes.
I miss riding out there, love the footage because it makes me super nostalgic for when I lived out there. Not sure if my next trip back will be for this or Chino Grinder.
So the maple syrup is mixed with water? Or just taken straight?
Excellent video footage - how did the State bicycle perform for yoy?
Loved it! Definitely wasn’t the bikes fault I hit the ground. That was user error. Haha. Excited to race it this season.
Once again Top Shelf sound track
If this is sarcastic, I don’t care. Haha.
That “roller coaster” section early in the race reminded me of Mario Kart.
Accurate.
I like your commentary; had to leave another channel the guy points out every flaw... lols. there's pain and problems but you must expect them, don't act angry or surprised - and don't spew hate at less skilled riders.
looked like a cat 4 race there at the beginning of the 1st gravel section.
Thank you, excellent video and very enjoyable !!!
Nice mellow "doctor's office" muzak...whoooo-haaaa...LOL...thx for the escape video DD...
was that truck pulling into the track??
Stoked for your season. “Legs” look like they’re ready to stand on some gravel podiums.
So… two bottles for a 5:30 race. The carbs make sense… is that all you are drinking or do you have water as well?
That's a good question!
They usually have bottle hand ups (water bottles) for guys towards the pointy end of the race. Occasionally they have carbs but usually just water. Hence he supplemented the remainder of his carbs not from bottles
Yea. You’re right. I grabbed water at aids.
I grabbed water at aids.
Ok makes sense now. Camel Diz 😂
"im now with guys that dint know how to ride" - everyone knows how to ride if they are up there. "frustrated that im losing time on the leaders, but i dont want to ride those long paved sections alone" - then push the pace rather than suck a wheel.
Touché.
meeeowwww lol
Idk in all honesty those people crashing in front of you looked like they might in fact not know how to ride lol
@@DrewDillmanChannel sorry I was being a prick. You had a great finish and obviously very strong. Good job
Oh, that giant morning sun and the hypnotic flow of the later single track. Great video! And a good result fighting back to top twenty after a slightly shambolic early half of the race. Quite inspiring, Mr Dillman. Keep it up!
awesome trails! Looks like you made a good tire choice!
Eh. Could have gone wider.
@@DrewDillmanChannel all Dylan does is talk about wider tires...
@rab0309 it’s annoying right!?
excellent video, and what a great finish (esp considering your wrecks).
Great recap! I know you're a good technical rider, but what's with all these crashes? Do you have a mountain bike? Maybe you need to hit the park? ;)
🤣 thanks for the advice Coach! Just got a new mtb so I’ll hit the trails. Haha.
NICE! @@DrewDillmanChannel
It was something I heard on a coaching podcast ;) @@DrewDillmanChannel
Cortney Island
Love the video! Very cool and I'm impressed with the speeds on the single track sessions. Thanks!
Including us! Went to first aid right away after hit the finish line!
What pedals are you riding with your "road shoes?"
maple syrup? in a can?? chase it with water i assume...
So did you skate for black label? The logo on your YT channel always throws me off
Lose the music!
Dickens Crescent
This is the first time I have ever seen maple syrup from a can.
I think it’s a Canadian thing.
@@DrewDillmanChannelfigures.. great result despite the crashes!
Did I see them blending it in water?
You did a 100Miler in the desert on two bottles? Wow I can't do that in cool conditions.
Grabbed water from aids. Should have mentioned that.
Was Floyd Landis starting in the front, a ceremonial thing for the race? If so, wouldn't you want to mention that...so it doesn't make him look like an idiot?
Damn!!! Man I know that was a hard mountain bike trail!!!! Good vid bro
The evolution of gravel, lol. It's gonna be hard tail mtbs soon. There should be limitations. Narrow tires and no support.
Great video. However, the noise that some would consider music is distracting. I want to hear the sound of the terrain under the wheels, the breathing, and discourse with other riders. I turned off the noise.
I ride mountain bikes and I don't know how you can ride these trails with low slung bars with thin unknobbied tires through dirt, rocks and sand.
Great Video! Did you really say "blow my wad"??? just saying! LOL!
Check out the Lauf Grit fork. Better than "normal" gravel forks.
Great job on the race! And nice video! I believe you are going to have a record year starting out like this. 💪🏽🚴🏼♂️
Hope you’re right. Thanks!
Great camera and narration, as always. Thanks.
How did you mount the camera?

16th place, your new name is Andrew Dylman
new kits are sweet
Glad you think so. I love it! 🔥
What are the water packs these dudes have? They look sleek af
Titus Causeway
How many oz of fluid (2 bottles only)?
Do you mix the maple syrup with water?
Roel Terrace
This is a really good video EXCEPT: video quality doesn’t come across well when I try to stream this to my TV. That might seem nit picky, but it’s definitely separating you from some of the other RUclipsrs like Vegan Cyclist whose videos are crisp as hell. I totally understand that he’s years in and probably has 50k your budget, but I would definitely work on that ASAP. Secondly, the background music track is just straight up annoying. It reminds me of some kind of Russian promotional video for defense contractors or something. Otherwise great video.
And look at those socks, what tools..
Awesome video! Curious about your camera setup. Looping? Battery power? Thanks!
A 16th place finish hmmm... where have we seen that before?...
Grown men in spandex. 😅😅😅
Why would you state your Normalized Power for a climb and not your Average Power?

I guess maple syrup is cheaper in Canada as that would be a pretty expensive option here in the UK!

What is this?
It does have in Xc mtb race with road shoes on . But it do have mtb shoes that are light and comfortable . But to each its own
